The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to acot(tan(x)).
$$\operatorname{acot}{\left(\tan{\left(0 \right)} \right)}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \frac{\pi}{2}$$
The point:
(0, pi/2)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$-1 = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
Inflection points
Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$0 = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$\operatorname{acot}{\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \right)} = - \operatorname{acot}{\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$
- No
$$\operatorname{acot}{\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \right)} = \operatorname{acot}{\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$
- Yes
so, the function
is
odd
